+   &link.pie; is an installer for PHP, that makes it possible to install
+   third-party PHP extensions, that can then be easily installed and updated.
+   It leverages the PHP extension repository part of
+   <link xlink:href="&url.packagist;">Packagist</link> to find the source code
+   to build the extension, or a Windows binary to download, if it exists. If it
+   downloads the source code, it also knows how to build and install it.

+   After <link xlink:href="&url.pie;?tab=readme-ov-file#what-do-i-need-to-get-started">installing
+   the requirements and PIE itself</link>, you can then install the
+   <link linkend="mongodb.mongodb">MongoDB extension</link> by running the
+   following on the command line.
